HAND & WRIST PAIN RELIEF

Much of the hand and wrist pain we see in our practice is a result of repetitive motion disorders, but nerve damage, aging, arthritis and trauma also effect hands and wrists.

Some causes for hand pain and wrist pain include:

Tendinitis

Injury

Skier’s thumb

Trigger finger or trigger thumb

Diabetes

Gout

Pseudogout

Arthritis

Symptoms

Trouble grasping or grabbing objects

Pain on the thumb side of your wrist

Weakened strength in your hands

Increased pain after using your wrists and hands

Pain when turning your wrist

Stiff fingers when you wake up

Pain that travels up your arm

Tingling or burning feeling in your hands

Numbness

Chiropractic treatment of repetitive movement disorders is discussed here. Treatment for other wrist and hand pain can include myofascial release, acupuncture, physical conditioning and exercises. We will pay special attention to “trigger points,” including muscles in the forearm and neck.

Dr. Aboudib may try manual manipulation of the joints and soft tissues of the area from the wrist to the spine, including the carpal bones, wrist, elbow, shoulder and articulations of the cervical (neck) and thoracic (upper back) spine. Muscles surrounding the forearm, upper arm, shoulder and upper back will also be tended to, as many patients complain of pain radiating from those areas.

Treatment may also include wrist decompression, cold laser, and/or ultrasound.
